Description:
|
The name given to the Master of the Legend of Saint Lucy derives from an altarpiece in the Sint-Jakobskerk in Bruges. This painter belonged to the generation of artists working in the last quarter of the 15th century and his style was influenced by that of Rogier van der Weyden, Jan van Eyck, Hugo van der Goes and Hans Memling. The central panel of this triptych depicts the Pietà and is inspired by a work on the same theme by Dirk Bouts, now in the Musée du Louvre. On the right and left are the donors, Adrienne de Vos with Saint Adrian, and Donas de Moor with Saint Donatian, respectively.
